I am driven by my faith that the pancreas can always meet the insulin requirements of the body even at partial functioning.
Apologies if this has been answered already, I've been away for a week enjoying the sun in Rio de Janeiro while my wife was attending a conference. You say you have faith that your pancreas can always meet the insulin requirements of the body. Have you had a c-peptide test and if so, what were the results? If you
know that it's 100% OK, then obviously insulin resistance is the problem and what causes that isn't always down to weight. Certainly the Newcastle trial showed weight loss led to lower BG levels, but there is also growing evidence to show that long term low calorie intake causes a slowing down of the metabolism. You've probably heard of what dieters call "The Plateau", partially caused by not adjusting calorie intake as weight is lost, though adjustment required is small if you go by the Harris Benedict formula.
It is only my opinion but nothing is reversed unless you can sit down and eat exactly the same as anyone else without your BG behaving differently to what is considered to be normal. For most type IIs I believe it means that we have to watch our carb intake all the time in an effort to have well controlled BG levels. It is also my opinion that Diabetes has become an epidemic, not only because of our present day diet, but also because our doctors are much better at not only looking out for it, but also getting people tested.
